Hey Sandtrappers. Shout out from Manila. Newbie to the game but a long time fan of the sport. Hope to gain insights from the others here. Thanks Gian Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Welcome to the game and the forum.

From my short time on this site I have found it to be really helpful as far as hints and discussions go!  What are good golf courses around Manilla and the Philippines in general? I will be heading there this coming December.

Top of mind would be Calatagan in Batangas province, Eagle Ridge in Cavite province (Dye and Faldo courses), Southwoods also in Cavite and Sta Elena and Canlubang both in Laguna province. All are a few hours drive from Manila. In Manila, it's Wack-Wack (host of the Phil Open) and nearby is Valley Golf. I suggest you join our local golf forum, Pinoygolfer.com (also on Tapatalk). Lotsa players there can hook u up for play :-) Thanks for the welcome! Gian Galsim

Thanks Gian!

I have posted on that forum as well and hopefully I will find some nice courses as well as some people to join. I have been reading allot about Highlands in Tagaytay but I believe I have to go with a member if I want to play that course.. Anyway, thanks again

Yes most private courses here require you to be accompanied by a member to get a better rate. Some accept walk-ins but rate is of course higher. Highlands of course is a must :-)

Ya thats what I thought. I have left a couple msgs on the other forum, so hopefully I can get in contact with a couple different people to go golfing with. Maybe get some access to the nicer courses!

I'm sure you will. Just post there when you'll be over. Nice to play on December, weather's cooler.
